I went to an Indian place once and asked the waiter to make my food spicy. It was kinda medium-spicy, and when the waiter asked if it was spicy enough, I--stupid white boy I am--said no. He took the dish back to the kitchen. He returned a little later with the chef. They both watched me take a bite and regret my decision. Through the tears, I told them the Spice was just right. They laughed.

Clue. One of Tim Curry's finest performances. Madeline Kahn's, too.

Independence Day. Just run away, alien dudes! The xenophobia isn't worth it!

Not to mention that the food stylists create something that isn't even edible. They frequently use things that aren't food to make it look more palatable onscreen.

I'm in my early 40s, and I'm more of a leftist today than I was when I was 18.

Here's the thing though... it isn't factually incorrect, and taken together with how Ethan Peck has played the character, this line could just be viewed as Spock's attempt at a joke.

I'm a teacher. I bought this book for my own children. It's a book about being true to yourself, even when you don't feel like you fit in. You don't have to be "blue" or "pink" if you feel like you fit into both categories.

Yes, it's a book about being trans, but there are other ways to read the book, especially if your audience is young. Accepting and loving yourself. Inclusion. Tolerance. It's a sweet book, and so of course people are going to get mad... it teaches kids acceptance, not hate!

Pretty sure that's wood.

It's likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents--and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.

Imagine spending 40 years telling the world what is going to happen if people don't do something drastic, only to be mocked, paid lip service, and completely ignored. That pretty much says it all.

ITT: People legitimately trying to name it, people saying "I'm American and I know this is fake," and people who get the joke trying to come up with a good name.

MAS*H in space? (startrek.website)

I know a strictly military-focused show goes against Roddenberry's vision, but what are the chances that we could see some sort of war-focused Trek in the future? The scenes in "Under the Cloak of War" (SNW 2x08... yes I'm a few weeks behind) fascinated me. What would a MAS*H-style show look like in Trek? Could the show tell the story of the war exclusively from the medical perspective? Until now, we've only gotten glimpses of war shown through the eyes of our main characters (O'Brien, Nog, Chakotay, Burnham, M'Benga, Chapel, etc) and we've gotten fleet-level looks of battles, but very little on-the-ground coverage of war.

I'd prefer the setting to be some war set some time after PIC--something we as an audience know nothing about. What are your thoughts, Lemmy?
